Qing Zhi looked at Ye Qiong in front of her and was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Ye Qiong to be so straightforward: "Now?"
Ye Qiong nodded and said: "Well... I have to do other things for the tribe in a few days. I can't delay. You bring your own equipment and see how many forest apes can be mobilized here. I will take you to the tripod." Look for it in the Longshan Mountains."
Qing Zhi immediately nodded, feeling moved in her heart without needing to express it.
After taking his equipment, Qing Zhi called five more forest apes, and when he arrived in front of Ye Qiong, he said: "That's all..."
Ye Qiong looked at the five forest apes behind Qing Zhi, nodded and said, "It's okay, just have someone to take care of them."
For Ye Qiong, summer time is very precious, and Ye Qiong is willing to personally take Qingzhi and Forest Ancient Ape deep into the interior of the Dinglong Mountains, which is enough to show that Ye Qiong still cares about this grandson in his heart. The two of them, and their friendship with the forest ape.
As for Qing Zhi's feelings, at present, Ye Qiong only regards her as if he views his little sister. After all, she has also saved him, although Ye Qiong does not need it.
Five ancient forest apes opened the way ahead, and from time to time, they roared toward the Dinglong Mountains with their unique calls.
This sound can be transmitted to a very long distance, about ten kilometers.
In other words, if Qing Lie and those forest apes could hear them within a range of ten kilometers, they would respond immediately.
They can communicate directly within a range of ten kilometers.
Communication basically relies on shouting.
This is beyond the reach of human beings. However, if in this environment, humans shout two or three kilometers, it is actually no problem, but it is a bit tiring.
After coming out of the Tree Palace, seven figures began to move towards the depths of the Dinglong Mountains in the dense forest.
Every time they advance one kilometer or so, the forest ape taking the lead will call out.
"Woo! Woo~!"
The cry echoed in the valley full of dense forests...
The small team moved very quickly. After all, they came to find people, not to hunt.
When the star hung high, the temperature in the dense forest also began to rise. Soon Ye Qiong and Qing Zhi were sweating. Fortunately, in the dense forest, there were branches and leaves that blocked the star's light, so they felt much better physically.
If at this point in time, the body is exposed to the sun's rays in the wild, it won't take long for a layer of skin to peel off.
The temperature gradually decreases as you go deeper into the dense forest. The Dinglong Mountain Range here has a very large depth span, probably nearly a hundred kilometers.
Ye Qiong was led by the forest ape and Qing Zhi, jumping quickly between the treetops of the dense forest.
After continuing forward for about thirty kilometers, the surrounding temperature dropped again and the altitude gradually increased.
However, it is still within the range that the body can bear. The surrounding trees and vegetation are not as lush as before.
Comparatively speaking, it is still much lusher than the dense forests in the plain areas.
Ye Qiong came here all the way and felt that there were not many magical beasts in the jungle. It was very difficult to meet the daily needs of the forest ape and Qing Lie, as well as the food reserves for winter. matter.
At this moment, he didn't ask Qing Zhi directly. He could only follow closely behind and pay attention to the surrounding environment.
In the dense forest, it is very inconvenient for large-sized monsters to move. With their stupid size, it is very difficult to run in the dense forest.
Therefore, those in the dense forest are of two polarized types. They are either low-level monsters similar to wolves and leopards, or super large king beasts like the black crystal python. They have grown up in the dense forest since childhood. Given a suitable environment, they can grow to very large sizes.
Hunting in dense forests is far more dangerous than in plains and mountains.
If there were no forest ancient apes, the possibility of Qinglie and Qingzhi surviving in the dense forest for a long time would be basically non-existent.
"Woo!~Woo!..."
The forest ape leading the group continued to call several times in a rhythmic manner.
Still didn't get any response.
But Ye Qiong did hear some strange sounds...
After walking for two kilometers, the sound gradually became clearer.
The sound of running water.
The further forward, the louder the sound becomes.
Qing Zhi in front slowed down a bit and came to Ye Qiong's side.
While continuing to jump between the treetops, he said: "The place ahead is the place I told you. After the water recedes in winter, you can enter the Dinglong Mountains. In previous years, within this water area, There are many magical beasts gathered here, and it is the water source for the current generation of magical beasts nearby. Grandpa, Xinka and the others hunt in this area."
Ye Qiong nodded, finally understanding why the ancient forest ape could settle here for so long.
After continuing for a hundred meters, the vision suddenly opened up. The vegetation quickly decreased, revealing a plain area, which felt like a beach.
A hundred meters ahead, a large river blocked the team's path.
The river is nearly one kilometer wide, and it would be very difficult for a normal Snow Star adult to swim across it.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Qiong was somewhat shocked.
I didn't expect that there is such a big river deep in the Dinglong Mountains, depending on the direction of the water flow.
The upper reaches are in the north and flow to the south.
Most of the water source of this river comes from the melting of ice and snow on the peaks of the Dinglong Mountains in summer, so the water flow is very large. With the arrival of winter, the water level will gradually decrease. After that, it completely disappeared.
The depth of a one-kilometer-wide body of water is difficult to measure. From what Qing Zhi said earlier, it is estimated that the depth of this river may reach tens of meters, or even more than a hundred meters.
Now Ye Qiong is quite curious about the passage Qing Zhi mentioned.
It stands to reason that if that passage exists now, a water source will flow out and flow directly into the Dinglong Mountains, similar to an underground river. In this case, if you have diving equipment, you can dive directly. Go in.
However, looking at the current situation, the possibility of Ye Qiong wanting to pass through that passage and enter the depths of the Dinglong Mountains at this point in time is zero.
"Woooo..."
In the dense forest, five ancient forest apes came out from the left and right sides, stood behind Ye Qiong and Qing Zhi, and called a few times.
Still no response.
"Let them check nearby and don't go too far..." Ye Qiong looked at Qing Zhi and said.
In a short while, I saw several low-level monsters drinking water on the other side of the river.
After discovering Ye Qiong and the others, they didn't have any intention of attacking or escaping, they just looked at them curiously. After all, they were separated by a big river of one kilometer, so the two sides just had to look at each other.
However, for some of the low-level monsters here, after seeing humans and forest apes, those who appeared alone sneaked into the dense forest.
